Officier stuurt een dronken soldaat naar het tuchtlokaal 1828

"Officier stuurt een dronken soldaat naar het tuchtlokaal" (1828) is a lithograph by Nicolas Toussaint Charlet, a French artist known for his satirical and poignant depictions of military life. The print portrays a scene of two soldiers, one in a commanding officer’s uniform, the other appearing disheveled and likely drunk. The composition and visual style of the work is characteristic of Charlet's oeuvre, and the artist's mastery of black and white lithography is evident in the finely detailed rendering of the figures and their surroundings. This artwork, held in the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant commentary on the realities of military life and reflects the artist's sharp observation of human behavior and the complex social dynamics of the time.
